[twitter] is it possible to search for tweets in specific language?

[marceloverdijk]

The twitter search api provides an optional 'lang' to search for tweets in the given ISO 639-1 language code.
The spring social twitter api only provides a search(String(java.lang.String query) method so I'm wondering if there is another way to provide the lang code, or is this not supported?

This sounds like a good enhancement to the Spring Social Twitter's SearchOperations interface. Could you create an improvement issue in JIRA (at https://jira.springsource.org/browse/SOCIALTW) to track this?

In the meantime, you can always do this by using the RestOperations returned from Twitter.restOperations(). You'd have to work with it at a lower-level, but it can still be done.

Thanks! I'll definitely take a look at it.
